President Trump and Senate Democrats have reached an agreement to prevent a prolonged shutdown of federal government departments, according to sources cited by NBC News. The deal aims to mitigate tensions over the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Although funding for some agencies will be temporarily suspended starting Saturday, the impact is expected to be minimal due to the weekend. The Senate may vote on the agreement as early as Thursday evening, with the House of Representatives set to consider the bill on Monday.
